I love Pottery Barn





So, if you don't know by now I am in love with Pottery Barn and I love everything they have. However, I do live in the real world and I can not afford to buy anything from them. But I do love to get ideas from their catalog, so recently I decided to purchase new chairs from of course Target (the best place in the world)!! X-Back chairs

I bought these chairs in December, I was so excited because Target offered 15% off on these chairs and free shipping (which saved me $50 in gas running to Phoenix), Yippie I love a good bargain.


I am now in the process of painting my kitchen table black, hopefully it will turn out. Here is my inspiration picture from Pottery Barn, once I am finished with my table I will post a picture of it.

We made it through the Holidays

The holidays are finally over and now we are starting to get back into the groove of things. I never really make New Year's resolutions, but this year I am going to try to become more organized, focuse more on my families and my overall health "eating healthier and exercising more", and work on the house. To start eating healthier I am planning out dinners that I can "actually cook", and making a shopping list of the ingredients that we need to buy. Yes, I know that this is how normal people do it, but I have always let Willie do most of the cooking and I have almost always worked nights. So by using the "Eating for Life" cook book I am following my first resolution and I am following my second resoultion by making a shopping list (hopefully this will end my daily visit to wal-mart, yep you know it's bad when the wal-mart greeter knows you by name!) I am following my second resolution. Also, to become more organized I VOW to clean my bathrooms and my fridge once a week, start developing the loads and loads of pictures on my computer, get the garbage disposal working,post more often, and fix the sound on my computer. So I am going to start from here and we will see how things go.
